Brief Answer:
Yes it's ok but avoid heavy drinking

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

If we consider pharmacology of Clonazepam then it is a long acting drug with half life of around 30 hours. The dose you have taken is not a high dose so taking few drinks would not cause any serious effects but increased sedation, drowsiness might occur.

Thanks. Hope this helps you, if you have more doubts you can ask again.
